Shoppers at Marks & Spencer are enthusiastically recommending a pair of gym leggings from the retailer's activewear line, highlighting their flawless fit and reliable coverage during exercise.
High Praise for Affordable Activewear
The product in the spotlight is the Goodmove Go Train High Waisted Gym Leggings, which retail for £30. Available in sizes 6 to 24, the leggings come in two versatile colours: classic black and a contemporary smokey green. According to numerous customer reviews on the M&S website, the leggings have become a wardrobe staple thanks to their combination of comfort, style, and practicality.
A key point of praise from customers, which is often a concern with affordable activewear, is that the leggings "aren't see through" even during intense bending and stretching movements. This feature has been specifically commended by users engaging in activities from reformer Pilates to outdoor running.
What Makes The Leggings Stand Out?
M&S describes the leggings as being designed for "comfort and style." They feature a wide, high-rise waistband that offers subtle tummy support and control, paired with a flattering skinny fit. The fabric is a blackout material designed to provide excellent coverage while maintaining a silky, lightweight feel against the skin.
Practical elements include side pockets for storing small essentials like keys or a phone, and bonded hems that create a sleek, seamless finish. The leggings currently boast an impressive 4.4-star rating on the Marks & Spencer website, based on customer feedback.
Customer Reviews: A Consensus on Comfort and Quality
The positive response from buyers is overwhelming. One long-term fan revealed: "I’ve bought 3 pairs over the last 5 years, and all are still going strong in my wardrobe with almost daily use for both activity and lounging. They’re comfortable, fit really well, and give a lovely shape."
Another customer, named Elle, posted: "Was recommended these by a friend and so far they're great. Good fit and comfy to run in." A third review simply stated they "fit very well and the quality looks very good." Multiple shoppers mentioned the perfect fit and how well the leggings sculpt the figure.
However, the product wasn't without a minor critique. One customer, Brooke, reported issues with the leggings falling down and expressed disappointment with the quality, indicating that the fit may not be universal for every body type.
How They Compare to Other Retailers
At £30, the Goodmove Go Train leggings position themselves in the competitive mid-range market for activewear. For comparison, M&S also sells the Goodmove Go Move Cool Comfort Embossed High Waisted Gym Leggings for £28.
Looking at other high-street retailers, John Lewis offers the Under Armour HeatGear Armour High Waisted Leggings for £37.99, while H&M's Pocket-Detail Sports Leggings With SoftMove cost £32.99. In the sale, Sweaty Betty has significantly reduced its Power UltraSculpt High Waisted 7/8 Gym Leggings from £88 to £28, offering a premium brand option at a similar price point.
The Goodmove Go Train High Waisted Gym Leggings are available to purchase directly from the Marks & Spencer website.
